Mitchel picked up on her unease. He placed a hand on the back of her neck and gently yet insistently pulled her closer.

As Raegan averted her gaze, he shifted his own focus to the vulnerable skin just below her ear and sucked on it with deliberate force. At the same time, his chest bumped against hers as if to chastise her.

This made Raegan's face flush a deep red, but she dared not move.

Her only option was to wrap her arms around his neck and cling to him.

Just then, the jarring buzz of a phone shattered the electric tension between them.

Annoyed, Mitchel considered ignoring it.

However, when Raegan noticed Kyle's name flash on the screen, she nudged him softly.

“It's Kyle."

With a raised eyebrow, Mitchel picked up the call and heard Kyle's anxious voice on the other end.

"Mr. Dixon, Miss Murray fainted."

The trace of desire on Mitchel's face instantly disappeared upon hearing Kyle's words.

Since Mitchel and Raegan were very close to each other at the moment, Raegan immediately noticed the change in his mood.

She removed her hands from his neck and tried to get away from his lap.

But he pressed her with one hand, and she couldn't move at all.

He said on the phone, “Kyle, if you can't take good care of her, give me your resignation letter. I don't need an incompetent employee.

Are we clear?"

After saying this, Mitchel hung up without waiting for Kyle to say anything more.

He wrapped his arm around Raegan's waist with a little strength, making her fall into his arms uncontrollably.

Since her body was pressed against his, she felt his hot skin.

Raegan subconsciously resisted. But her strength was no match for Mitchel. He put one hand on her back, turned her around, and pressed her onto the bed.
